Glaziers who belong to a union usually earn higher wages. Pay for apprentices normally begin at half the rate of experienced workers and increase every six months. Glaziers may work less when weather is bad or construction activity is slow. Thus, they may have lower wages during the winter months.
Benefits may include health insurance and paid vacation days. Some unions offer retirement plans.
